‘thought of making a random list of ‘to do’ things for this year…

1. major renovation. new look — hair, make-up, nails, clothes. don a short hair, everybody wears one. try a product which can eliminate impurities on my face. fix my smile, always been my biggest insecurity. strut the streets in japanese street fashion. combination + layering + outrageous accessories = shibuya/harajuku style. i’m so excited!

2. shed a few pounds, trim 5-8 inches on my waist. i think i gained up to 6 kilos for the last 2 weeks. scary, i know.

3. eat healthy. i’m trying a veggies-only-for-dinner diet. and i’m starting to hate it. lettuce, carrots, cucumber, tofu, broccolli — too pricey for a minimum wager. pfff. fish is starting to taste like paper. i dunno what kind of food i should eat that won’t tire my taste buds. eating fruits also makes me poop more often. i can’t afford that if i’m working 10 hours a day coz i never like pooping in a public mess bowl. if u know what i’m saying… my new obsession is kimchi. yes, that spicy fermented chinese pechay/radish with an awful smell that koreans love. A P53/jar mixed kimchi is available at sm. u might wanna try.

4. go to the gym. found one with only P200/month registration. really nice. i’ll visit tomorrow, and i’m bringing my whole family. my job, taking calls, require less movement so i don’t get to exercise my heart and muscles. the only time i sweat is when i log out from work and it’s 10am, the whole world is already burning in heat. a lot of my workmates get sick and i don’t wanna be next. i’m anemic, but that could be helped.

5.  get a new phone. i have a slim black motorola phone that’s pawned to me by my neighbor. i want a slim black dopod flip phone. i don’t think it’s available in davao but i’m not in a hurry. i found a china-made phone with analog tv, mp3 player, camera, internet, and other messaging features. a friend owns one. funny thing about it is its extendable antenna, kinda like the rabbit antenna people use for their tvs at home. it’s cool thinking that i could actually watch marimar or maging sino ka man while waiting for a ‘trysikad’ if i’m out. haha, that’s as ‘masa’ as i could get.

6. buy a pair of nice rubber shoes. guess i’m the only girl in this side of earth who doesn’t own one. literally, honestly, embarassingly. and by nice, i mean a popular brand with a pretty price. gotta own one before i hit the gym!

7. learn nihonggo. i only know stuff like nani, nande, tadaima, ohayo, konbanwa, kakkoi, kawaii, kirei, omedetou, hajimemashite and other basic words. i want to be able to converse in straight jap. need to practice before i visit shun oppa in the land of the rising sun!! oops, oppa is korean pala…waaah, sorry.

8. get a new hobby, knitting or sewing clothes. i’m a frustrated fashion designer and i’m stitching my way to it!!!.

9. go abroad. dubai or sydney– God will decide. it’s gonna be tough but i’m determined! no offense meant to my motherland but there’s no hope here. i can’t settle with 5 digits, i need 6 or 7! too much bills and debts to pay. so sad to know that even my future greatgrandson is endebted to the US and other foreign countries even before their birth.

10. for this last, i’ve asked permission from my parents. tehee… kiss my first boyfriend. NBSB. i am very traditional when it comes to love but i don’t think i’m the kind to marry my first prince. however, i’ll be glad to actually explore the cheesy side of me. hhww? i know i’d be obliged to do that. i’m not that touchy, i also don’t like guys texting me, asking if i ate dinner already or if i’m doing fine or what. shit, it will be a big battle but i gotta be ready!!  (^_*)<333
